Ralf in Dresden

The food is varied. I can't understand, for the life of me, why they often serve "filinchen" for snacks. It's clear that finances have to be considered. But on those days, I know my child will be picked up completely hungry in the afternoon. I don't need to say anything about the nutritional values...

It used to be good, but it's declined significantly. Now it's impossible. Smaller portions for the same price, unfriendly staff, no card payments accepted, full ashtrays on the guest tables, staff smoking in their work clothes outside the store (and then preparing the food in their smoke-covered clothes – simply disgusting).

The €30 evening buffet was far too expensive considering the quality and selection. €30 for roulades, red cabbage, spaetzle, pasta, tomato sauce, salmon lasagna, and vegan carbonara. (As well as a salad bar and a dessert: baked apple rings and vanilla sauce). The buffet started at 6 p.m. We arrived at 6 p.m., and the salmon lasagna was already completely dry, meaning the cheese on top was inedible. For vegans/vegetarians, there would only be pasta with veggie carbonara or a salad bar with maybe a bit of red cabbage. Most of us therefore ordered à la carte. The price-performance ratio is good there. However, we ordered one vegetarian and one vegan tarte flambée from the menu. Instead, we received two vegetarian options. When we asked if that was really the vegan option, we were initially confirmed and told that they just looked the same and always came that way. (They were identical) Then we asked and tried to explain that the vegan version didn't have three of the listed ingredients on it, and also that it didn't have feta, and that it couldn't be the vegan version. They then said it was probably a mistake in the kitchen. Yes, that's fine, it's obvious and can happen. But they didn't respond further, so we had to actively ask the kitchen again to check. They did, and the chef apologized. The reason given was the new menu and that some ingredients were missing. But that's not the solution, and simply making the vegetarian version instead without prior consultation... The breakfast buffet is also completely overpriced at 22 euros. The buffet is spread across two rooms, but in one of them, only a slimmed-down version is available, but you can just go over to the other room. The items are very poorly labeled, and even here, as a vegan, you have a selection of what feels like 5 items. That's not worth 22 euros!

I think the food is delicious. Especially the rice dumplings. What struck me is that there are a lot of farmers around who need help and complain.
